Daft Punk Thomas Bangalter Helmet!

Having the Guy Manuel helmet on hand, and looking at Volpin's amazing work, I began working on a Thomas Bangalter Helmet, why not have them both? ^-^

If you've seen my previous instructables, you will understand the process much easier, however, I encourage you to have a read at this instructable!

Forgive me if I missed it, but roughly what is the total cost to make this?

Can you share a link to download the Pepakura file or preferably a PDF file of those plans for printing?

That's sick man!

I have my Helmet I am making for my halloween costume. Its a modified baseball helmet. Do I use fiberglass first? at all? Or can I just use bondo? Also I used cardboard to make the front mouth piece and such, will the bondo mess with the cardboard?

Can you make one for me plz? I don't have enough time for me to do it myself. I'll pay the amount you want (plus an extra if you add LEDs)! I'm 13 and I have too much to do (in school and summer brake)!

Amazing! Good work!

[FennecCooper]

Thanks! You should give it a shot!

[the_burrito_master]

Nice tho not as good as your guy manuel one. :D

[FennecCooper]

Thanks! I definitively think this cast didn't turn out so great, I was kind of upset with it.
However, I will be sending one of my casts to a chrome shop in the near future in order to recreated the Human After All era helmet! : D

niiiiice!

[aruiz13]

Sweet!

I would love to see it lit up!

[FennecCooper]

I can't give you a picture of it lit up right now due to an incident that the EL wire inverter had.
On the way back from Megacon, I dropped my "delicate" props bag and this item was in it, as well as a piece from my portal gun.
I will have to re-order a new inverter and then it will be able to light up again ^-^
I'll try to do this as soon as I can! : )

Hey, no problem, breakages happen to the best of us. Great build! I have always wanted one of these, although I don't think i could cast mine. Maybe rondo over paper.
